1. Introduction to Integrated Assessment and Planning Handbook ADF UNSOC 15 (replacing SO STM module 4 – IMPP)

2. Intro to Integrated Planning “There is currently no integrated planning or support cell in the Secretariat that brings together those responsible for political analysis, military operations, civilian police, electoral assistance, human rights, development, humanitarian assistance, refugees and displaced persons, public information, logistics, finance and recruitment.” (The 2000 Brahimi Report) “The United Nations should embrace the term “peace operations” to denote the full spectrum of responses required and invest in strengthening the underlying analysis, strategy and planning that leads to more successful design of missions. Sequenced and prioritized mandates will allow missions to develop over time rather than trying to do everything at once, and failing. “ (The HIPPO Report 2015)

3. Aim To introduce military staff officers to the Integrated Assessment and Planning Handbook in order to facilitate their participation in its implementation in an integrated United Nations presence.

4. Learning Outcomes Understand the contents and layout of the Integrated Assessment and Planning Handbook Understand the progression of Integrated Assessment and Planning. Comprehend the role of the field in process. Explain the role of the headquarters in the process.

8. What is IAP? Guidance framework that applies to any type of assessment of a strategic, programmatic or technical nature, when it must be carried out in an integrated manner because its scope and operational implications extend beyond one entity. Intended to maximise the individual and collective impact of the context-specific peace consolidation activities of the UN system.

9. IAP Handbook Published in 2013 provides guidance on methodologies, tools and approaches that may be used to meet the IAP Policy’s mandatory requirements and minimum standards. It combines elements from various sources, including previous guidelines – such as IMPP Guidelines for Field Presences:Role of the Field, and Roles of the Headquarters, with updates as necessary.

25. Reports should address: Are the joint strategic objectives being realized? What is preventing progress towards the joint strategic objectives? What corrective measures could be taken? Are the entities participating in the ISF abiding by the commitments/agreements? Is the underlying analysis (of the conflict, of the operational environment) still valid and are the strategic objectives still relevant (if the situation on the ground has changed)?

27. Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) A strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region It provides: –Analysis of the context in which humanitarian takes place; - Best, worst, and most likely scenarios; –Analysis of need and a statement of priorities; –Roles and responsibilities, i.e. who does what and where; and –A clear link to longer-term objectives and goals; –A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary. The CHAP is the foundation for developing a Consolidated Appeal.
